ENFORCE THE LAW.

The prompt conviction of men
known to be criminals will 60 fur
Their toward making the law respect
ed than anything else that can be
done. Sagounah Neus.
Just 50. And it is the duty Of
every good citizen to aid in ferreting
out law breakers and insist on the
enforcement of the law, Parties in
any community who are allowed to
break law with impunlty, tends to
weaken the entire system Of laws and
brings on a state Of anarchy If men
knowingly and willfully violate law,
they have no one TO blame but them
selves if they are caught and pun
ished, for they took their chances to
beat the law, defy the officers and
public sentiment and got beat at
their game.

DON'T SELL III.

The State Road property should
not be sold. 1t is the peoples prop
erty. 1t serves the purpose of edu-
eating the children Of Georgia. Its
rental of S300,000 year gives these
poor children three months schooling
in the year. This number of months
is inadequate to their proper educa-
ton, but deprive the school fund Of
this three hundred thousand dollars
rental and you will lessen the mum
Der of school months. Instead Of
being lessened, they should be in
creased. This sum is now appropri-
ated for school purposes. 1t would
be a hard matter to get the legisla-
ture to supply this deficiency by an
other appropriation. Lease the road
and educate the children of Georgia.
Spectators, money sharks and
schemers are doing all they can to
depreciate this valuable property,
but the people of Georgia under
stand them, and their little selfish
game. 1t is good piece of proper
ty and one of the best roads in the
State. 1t connects with Atlanta
and Chattanooga, two of the largest
commercial cities and railroad cen
tres in the South. 1t is bound to be
always great railway. Every town
situated on it, is interestd in it's sue
cess and prosperity, because it adds
to their prosperity. Therefore let
its interests be protected.

he sentiment of the country is
overwhelming against the continu-

can be no mistaking this fact The
present movement is not dependent
upon wave Of popular excitement;
il is not born Of a passing enthusiasm.
1t is the outcome Of years Of wrong

BRADY'S GUANO BILL,

The Brady guano bill is one which
men honestly differ about as to its
necessity, but from our standpoint
we think it we'll calculated to do
great harm to both farmers and deal
ers. It practically increases the
cost Of fertilizers and discriminates
against home manufacturing enter
prises and gives Northern factories
almost monopoly. 1t operates
against the solyency of notes, and
renders them non-negotiablc in
banks as collateral security, and this
limits the capital of home manufac-
turers and dealers andcripplos them
in business. We believe the bill is
not needed, if the State will enforce
the present law and make the inspec-
tors do their duty. We hope the
Senate will defeat it.
